Two trials evaluated the effects of level of wet corn gluten feed (WCGF), type of supplemental protein, and supplemental tallow on steer finishing performance. In Trial 1, WCGF was fed at 0, 25 (two diets), or 50% of the dietary DM replacing dry-rolled corn (DRC), molasses, and a portion of the supplement. The DRC control diet and one 25% WCGF diet were supplemented with a combination of protei...

a study was carried out to evaluate the effects of r. coriaria l. and p. farcta extracts as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in broilers diet. a total of 300 one-day-old male ross 308 chicks were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments (five pen replicates, 15 birds per pen) for the 0- to 28-d period, and all data were analyzed in a randomized complete design. dietary treatment...

In this study the effect of Ginger supplementation on blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients was examined. Methods: 81 patients with type 2 diabetes who were referred to Yazd Diabetes Research Center participated in thi...

We conducted two experiments using marginally Zn-deficient (-Zn) calves to determine which supplemental chemical form of Zn would most rapidly reverse certain Zn deficiency signs and to determine whether a change in protein turnover had occurred in Zn deficiency. In Exp. 1, 40 crossbred beef heifers were allocated by BW to four groups. The control group received 23 mg Zn/kg diet DM from ZnSO4 s...

In a 148-d feedlot experiment, 48 crossbred steers were fed a 70% sorghum diet with clinoptilolite (CLN), a natural zeolite, substituted at 0, 1.25 and 2.5% of the diet dry matter. No differences (P>.05) were detected in average daily gain, feed intake (dry matter and organic matter) and feed efficiency among treatments. Negative correlations (P<.05) between fecal starch and fecal pH were detec...

400 one day-old broiler chicks were allocated on a randomized complete design experiment with five treatments consisting of four replications for 42 days. experiment treatments were included: 1 . based diet consist 20 percent barley (barley control), 2 . barley control + 0.1 percent of mixed essential oil (antibiofin), 3 . barley control + 0.2 percent organic acid, 4 . barley control + 15 ppm o...

A total number of 225 Fayoumi hens 34 weeks old , were used in this experiment to study the effect of supplementing layer diet with 0.2% casein (c) with or without 0.015% iodine as 0.02% potassium iodide (KI) in drinking water on the performance and egg quality. The experiment continued for 90 days. Birds were randomly divided into three groups , each group contained 3 replicates of 25 each . B...
